Cotton Seeks 85,000 H-1B Cap for Universities and Research

Sen. Tom Cotton’s Visa Cap Enforcement Act would end H-1B exemptions for universities and nonprofits, force them into the 85,000 annual visa lottery, recount some long-term H-1B workers against the cap, and restrict employer-change flexibility, creating potential delays and uncertainty for academic hiring and research.

DHS Plan Replaces Duration of Status with Fixed Timelines for F, J, I

Today’s in-depth episode breaks down a major DHS proposal that would end “duration of status” for F, J, and I nonimmigrants and replace it with fixed admission periods tied to program or assignment dates. Published on August 28, 2025, the rule would shift students, exchange visitors, and foreign media from a flexible, status-based model to a deadline-driven system that requires formal USCIS extensions and new biometrics.

We unpack what this means in practice: caps on initial stays for F and J, shorter grace periods after completion, required Form I-539 filings for extensions, and new limits on program changes and transfers—especially for graduate and undergraduate F-1 students. You’ll learn who is affected, what could change in day-to-day planning, and how to prepare while the public comment window remains open until September 29, 2025.

If you’re on an F, J, or I visa—or you advise or employ people who are—this episode offers clear takeaways, timelines, and action items to stay ahead. Follow on social media and visit VisaVerge.com for more immigration insights.
